Many users, after downloading the Geforce experience, they may notice a service in their task manager called “NVIDIA Capture Server Proxy”. Because of its name, many people were concerned if it was a potentially harmful app and if it would ban them or not.
NVIDIA Capture Server Proxy is by no means suspicious software. NVIDIA has always been known to push the boundaries when it comes to developing additional services and processes for its dedicated controllers.. If you look at your task manager, you will find around 10 different services running.
You can easily check all the processes by following the indicated steps.
-
Start your Task Manager by pressing the ⊞ Win button + R. This should open the startup app.
-
In the dialog, enter »taskmgr«. This should open the task manager.
-
Check the task manager for NVIDIA related processes.
Here you can see two processes, namely, NVIDIA Streamer Service y NVIDIA Streamer User Agent. Then, What are they used for? They are designed so that you can stream games from your PC to NVIDIA Shield devices. These processes hardly need to run on Windows. It makes sense to disable them to improve your game because you will have more memory available.
5. Click on the Windows button and in the search bar type »msc«. 6. Click on the program that returned in the search result.

7. We are not done yet, click on the dialog box »Startup type» and select »Disabled«. This will ensure that this service does not start as before. Click Apply Changes and Exit.
